For Valentines Day I made fondue for my special valentines. Daryl and I waited for the kids to go to bed and I made a special batch for us while we watched a movie. (too much double dipping going on with the kids)

Bayley arrived home from school mortified after having received several "special valentines" from admirers. However, after visiting with Mom about being gracious, and thinking about the effort of others on her behalf, she quickly became flattered. Knowing that in a couple of years she will enjoy the attention from the boys, I guess I can be grateful that she feels the way she does today. Bayley also had a band concert that day and played her first duet on the Saxophone.

Maxwell's party was really rockin. He made sure Ruby was introduced to all of his friends. It was so cute. And of course him being a ladies man and not shy at all, he received special valentines from girls in the other first grade classes as well. I am gonna have to keep an eye on him!

Ruby had such a fun birthday this year. Most of her friends were able to attend. We played cake walk and pin the polka dot on Uniqua. We also did a small cut and paste craft. Ruby had been excited for her party for about three days before . She stayed up late the night before helping with some of the games. Then Ruby got up at 6:30am because she was to excited to go back to sleep. I assumed by party time she would be a bear! She was just the opposite. She was a sweet gracious host. She has grown up so much. Ruby, Isaac, Sidney, Greta, Brian, and EmmaUniqua Cake (Backyardigans)Ruby's favorite character on her favorite cartoon.
